Well, as Abe mentioned, yes, we do convert images to a max of 1,000 pixels and then resize them for the largest size, either width or height, and then save the images using ImageMagick.
I just increased max size to 1,200 pixels.
The problem is that with 4K cameras, most people can only see a quarter of the image on an HD monitor and would need to scroll around to see the image. It also makes a huge difference in the space required for images. Simply resaving the image can reduce the size a lot depending on the camera without any obvious degradation.
We are also in the process of building a new web server and upgrading the SSD drives, so space won't be as dear as it had been in the past. I'm also slowly working on a responsive design to better handle phones and tablets. As we implement that code base, we can display images to fit the device width automatically which solves the scrolling issues.
